Nov 25, 2015

Vim-CtrlSpace allows you to bookmark your projects. When you run
Vim-CtrlSpace for the first time, the bookmark list is empty. It’s time to
change that! Fasten your seatbelts and add your first project to bookmarks
following the steps below!

CTRL+SPACE

Vim-CtrlSpace will ask you to type the path to the project

Confirm the path with Enter

Optionally you can change the bookmark name

After adding the project to bookmarks, choose the project from the list using
either:

j and k

toggling search mode with / when the list is long

Press Enter to confirm the choice. An unnamed tab should open.

> [1*No Name] ★

Press r to index all project files.

After indexing you should get this message:

Now you’re ready to feel the power of Vim-CtrlSpace!

Common questions

Re-indexing — do I need it?

Almost each editor, or IDE you have had experience with, re-index
files. Many of them do it automatically for you. This allows for faster
searching files. Some IDE like RubyMine can, in large projects, hang even
a powerful Macbook Pro.

Vim-CtrlSpace allows you to re-index files manually. Don’t worry about
forgetting to re-index as sooner or later it’ll become your habit.
